Wellcome, this is 2nd game of DuneWars series which played with mod called DuneWars , which can be found here :

The mod is a total conversion of Civ, set in the Dune Universe of the novels of Frank Herbert. The mod opens after some great disaster, with several of the Great Houses trapped on the surface of the desert planet Arrakis. Gradually they must rebuild and expand, and strive for total domination of the planet's riches.

Players must harvest the spice melange, contesting loyalties between the Emperor, the Great Houses and new religions and values. Wealthy factions may pay the Guild to transport soldiers from their homeworld. Leaders may choose to focus on spice income, or to begin the slow process of terraforming Arrakis, fulfilling the dream of the Fremen. Water is incredibly scarce; players must carefully focus the little water they can glean from windtraps, wells and dew collectors.

Atreides been excluded, b/c we played as Atreides in previous game.
 
I would join again.
I've achieved terraforming victory with Fremen (maybe a bit easy and boring) and diplomatic with Bene Gesserit in solo games.
What about a religious victory with Tleilax? It would be almost like a conquest :D

It was in older versions, there are serious changes in Terraforming victory in last ones. :) (1.6.4 and up)
I am open for propositions and we'll wait for new votes in the poll and patch to be released :)
 
I'd like to do a completely contrasting game to the last one.

Play as Harkonnen, found Landsraad, build the CHOAM Headquarters and run the Arrakis Spice civic asap, go for as big a Spice economy as possible, and wipe out the Atreides.

Not sure what the victory condition should be though.
 
Ok we have time for voting - there sure will be lurkers - please do not hesitate - vote, even if you lurk here

@Deliverator - so i count you? i've put your name to the list

Btw Ordos is almost same, more than that i want to put those new UU in use and test them :D
(Ah, i voted Ordos btw)
It seems to me enough contrast as well, it even not-so-canon, so it would be good too

Good idea.
 
Since my last two failed attempts of terraforming victory I would really like to see how that goes... So Fremen or Atreides preferred, more for the Atreides since I want to see how they fare without the heir UU (I think that makes the the weakest Civ currently).
 
I would like to play Fremen with no war (unless declared upon) and winning Terraforming victory.
 
Please who post here - also say should i put you into the rooster?
Since AnotherPacifist Played in our last game i put him in -
Please other people - confirm if i should put you into the list.
Also i extending list to 6 men.

Also lets wait more time - atm seems that Liet-Kynes winning,
i hope someone will vote for Ordos - we got new UUs, Trike and Saboteur and Chem Trooper to test! :D
 
Please more 1-2 members, sign up - dont be shy :p
(ah and more lurkers please vote for Ordos, thanks ! I promise that We'll show you some Trike/Saboteur action then :) )
 
I would move my vote from Harkonnen to Ordos if I could...

I think we'll accept this :D
There are some new additions to Ordos
Also previous game had terraforming so that will be good if this time we'll go with anti-terraformers :)
 
Duh you re wellcome , come play :)
Btw we still need 1 at least
Patch is out so we can start this one already, i'll play soon enough (old one is at end, perhaps i will be finishing it too)

I think We'll be playing Fremen game, but with some twist :
alot of landmass, domination enabled and never to trade/negotiate with adopters of Arrakis Spice civic. (Must war them)(Atm 3/4 Ordos/Fremen - we'll see if we get more votes)
 
I would be willing to join if you're still looking for one more. But I've never done a succession game and I don't play above prince yet, so I'm not sure I'd be able to add much.

I voted for a Fremen game (for the worms, so cool) but that was before I knew about the Ordos extras, so either one would work for me
 
Great so i added you, and since old game delayed abit, and i think i will be finishing it we can start it already.
Only please - if you think you are not so strong player - advice with team before playing your set/during it. :)

1. Slvynn

Our planetologist:
Spoiler :

Phi/Exp - Terraformed land + Phi SE , and extra health with cheap workers



Our starting spot:
Spoiler :



Your suggestions , lets hassle-bassle abit before i start. Long term strategies, observations. Making start maximum effective, as it have serious impact upon later stages.
 
Duh too much Salt at south, so far we have 2 healthy recources around.
Options i see for city :



Observation - more 2 n and deicide next turn - 4n seems better.

Edit: here 1 turn into a game - with new scouted land


in place (Nitrates, 4 mesa in bfc = 2 windtraps, groundwater, 2 dews)
2 n ( 5 mesa in bfc resulting in 3 windtraps, groundwater. 2 dews, +1 turn delay, gain of +happy recources via culture will be earlier)
